Great 5 Minute Video on What Film Is

Films (movies) are an art form that have captivated audiences since their first introduction in the late 1800's. Although digital recording has gained massive popularity among major movie-makers (and has all but taken over still photography) some of the greatest directors of our time are still using film; Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and Steven Spielberg to name a few.

But have you ever wondered; What is film? What is made of? How does it work? If you have, this short video is for you. The team at "What is....." (which appears to be a new YouTube channel as they've only uploaded this single video) offers a brief but surprisingly thorough explanation of what film actually is. Very interesting. Check it out below.
